Jesus Desires Intimacy with Us His Bride (Santosh Poonen)

Do you have a second-hand relationship: If you love God, you are known by Him (I Corinthians 8:3). Matthew 7:21-27: “I never knew you... we weren’t intimate". Do you know God? If so you will be learning His ways (Exodus 33:13). If you are simply a spectator (Psalm 103:7): anxiety/worry; fear; impatience; jealousy/competition; etc. Jesus calls you friend, not slave (John 15:14-16): 1. call: Jesus chose you; 2. purpose: to bear fruit out of His eternal life; 3. authority: whatever you ask in Jesus’ name, Father will give.
